Snappy Stir Fry

Need:

-Pre-cooked frozen or refrigerated chicken strips

-frozen stir fry veggie mix (bell peppers, broccoli, onions, ect)

-jar of pineapple in water

-Trader Joes Island Soyaki sauce

-low-sodium veggie (or chicken) broth 

Prepare:

-Drain the pineapple and place on paper towels to soak up remaining moisture. Set aside

-Lightly coat the bottom of your fry pan with about ½ a cup of the veggie broth and 3-5 T of the soyaki sauce and turn on medium heat

-add in the stir-fry veggie mix and cook for 5 minutes

-add in the chicken and pineapple and heat for about 4-5 minutes until chicken is heated through

You can also cook fresh veggies up   instead of using a pre-packaged mix. Bell peppers, garlic and sweet onions go really well together. 

 

Noodle-Free Spaghetti

Spaghetti squash is incredible because it has the texture of cooked spaghetti but the nutritional content of a veggie




Need:

-1 spaghetti squash

-1 packaged of the leanest ground turkey you can find (98%)

-1 jar of spaghetti sauce (low-fat and preferably preservative free)

-Garlic to taste

Prepare:

-Simmer the sauce for a few minutes and add the turkey breast. Add garlic to taste.

-Turn up the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 minutes, breaking up the turkey into smaller bits, until cooked through. -Meanwhile, stab 6-8 holes into the spaghetti squash with a knife. Cook in the microwave on high for 8 minutes and let cool for 5.

-Turn off the stove if turkey is done.

-Cut the squash on the equator and you should be able to scrape the spaghetti-like squash out with a fork into a bowl.

-Serve with sauce

Crock-Pot Pulled Chicken

Takes: 5 minutes to get started

Need:

-4-6 chicken breasts, trimmed of fat and chopped into quarters

-Two jars of salsa, your preference (I like chunky salsa)

-3-5 cloves of garlic to taste

Prepare:

-Put salsa in the bottom of the crock-pot and then add the chicken breasts.

-Cook on low for 8 hours. –Pull chicken apart before serving. Can be stored in the fridge for up to three days or frozen after that point for 3 months
